Venus (a Lilibonelle)

The distant light of the morning star,

Shining upon us as we dance,

Upon the shores of Lake Pontchartrain.

Venus, you hold the secrets of our love.



Shining upon us as we dance,

In a lover’s embrace.

A toast of cheap wine in plastic cups,

Does life get better than this?



Upon the shores of Lake Pontchartrain,

In the quiet of predawn,

We kiss and share gentle whispers,

Promises of life and future.



Venus, you hold the secrets of our love,

Some see you as distant and cold,

I see you as a sweet memory,

eternal flame warming our hearts.
